Guess Who I Played With On Halo 4


Recommended Posts

What is wrong with you people? Can't you find the humor in just the name?

I think the issue for me is that a gamer tag can be anything that the user wants (well, within reason). It would be like someone signing up to Neowin with the same username Pres.Obama. It doesn't mean that they are President Obama, it was just a name that they chose.

Now if you had been playing against Honey Boo Boo (god, I can't even type that without my fingers cringing) and the player on the other end was mimicking her voice and generally playing like a 6 year old (hmm, given the skill levels of some players that wouldn't be hard to do) then I would have chuckled, but a username or gamer tag is just that for me.

But hey, that's just my view on humour. As the J&FS forum states, it's an individual thing. (Y)

Or maybe just the name broski.

    • Limited Prime Day deal sees Amazon Echo Show 11 is at its lowest price yet by Ivan Jenic The Amazon Echo Show 11 is currently $149.99 on Amazon during Prime Day, down from $219.99. That's 32% off and $70 saved on Amazon's newest mid-size smart display (purchase link below). As its name suggests, the Echo Show 11 features a 11” Full-HD touchscreen, which is a decent upgrade over the Echo Show 8. It offers 60% more viewing area, which makes a genuine difference for recipes, calendars, video calls, or any other scenario where the smaller display can feel a bit cramped. The Show 11 is built around Alexa+, Amazon's more capable AI assistant that can handle natural conversation. You can make reservations, order groceries, and find content based on your preferences, instead of always having to give it precise commands. There’s also the Omnisense technology, which adds ambient awareness, allowing the device to trigger routines based on temperature, presence detection, or visual cues. Smart home control is built in without needing a separate hub, and the home screen doubles as a photo slideshow when not in use. Taking all of this into account, the Show 11 is a perfect smart addition to your kitchen counter or living room. At $149.99, this is a strong Prime Day buy for anyone already in the Amazon ecosystem or looking to build one out.

    • Dang that sucks. I just started using this feature instead of Pushbullet.
    • I use my devices until the very end. I used my old desktop computer for 16 years, my OnePlus 5T phone for 8 years and my LG Gram laptop for 7 years. Even though they are still working, there are no more security updates for most of them (Windows 7 ESU, Android 12 ROM and the LG Gram because I wanted an ARM based laptop).
